RESTORED

RESTORED, is a book i am reading right now. My mother in law is leaning it to me.
Its about taking back your freedom we have in Christ. and Holding strong on to the Cross.
Not letting the devil have any part of your.
I am on chapter 4. Letting go of bitterness and unforgivness.
i thought that i have dealed with a lot of my forgiving people but going throught the spets really showed me that i was blocking some memoiers and i just didn't think they had any hold on me, but Jesus showed them to me. I still have work to do in the area of forgiving.
Here are some really good passages for the book.
"Nobody can fix there past, but by the Grace of God we can be free from it."
and i love this one. "Bitterness is like swalloing posion and hoping the other person die's"

I am really enjoying this book, and i highly recommend it. It's called Restored by, Neil T. Anderson.

Last thought : In your steps of forgiving others, remember to forgive your self !!!
Everyone fall's short of God Glory, but not so short that his hand is still right there to help you back up. He DIED so that he could forgive you, just by you asking, and he can heal your heart of the hatered and bitterness you have towareds your self. Let go and Let God !!!!

I am a Bad Toothfairy !!!!!!!!

Lucious lost his 1st tooth about 2 weeks ago, and i just put it in a jar and was going to put it under his pillow later......and now it has been later, so last night i put his tooth in a little baggy and told him when you wake up look under your pillow and the tooth fairy will have left you money for your tooth. and Lucious went to bed all happy.
this morning as Jason was waking pass his room at 6am to go to work, Lucious call's to him and goes "dad.........it didn't work" We forgot to put money under his pillow. oh we felt so bad. i ask Jason if he had any money on him right now and he said he had $5, and i told him to go give that to him, but jason said that we will do that tonight,
but Lucious is taking it very good. he said he will try again to put his tooth under his pillow tonight. Jason and i are going to give him $2 but all in courters.
Hopefully next time we will be better Toothfairys.

OH MY GOD !!!

Have you ever said the words "Oh My God " ???
Jars of Clay wrote a powerful song about those words.


"Oh My God"

Oh my God, look around this place
Your fingers reach around the bone
You set the break and set the tone
Flights of grace, and future falls
In present pain
All fools say, "Oh my God"

Oh my God, Why are we so afraid?
We make it worse when we don't bleed
There is no cure for our disease
Turn a phrase, and rise again
Or fake your death and only tell your closest friend
Oh my God.

Oh my God, can I complain?
You take away my firm belief and graft my soul upon your grief
Weddings, boats and alibis
All drift away, and a mother cries

Liars and fools; sons and failures
Thieves will always say
Lost and found; ailing wanderers
Healers always say
Whores and angels; men with problems
Leavers always say
Broken hearted; separated
Orphans always say
War creators; racial haters
Preachers always say
Distant fathers; fallen warriors
Givers always say
Pilgrim saints; lonely widows
Users always say
Fearful mothers; watchful doubters
Saviors always say

Sometimes I cannot forgive
And these days, mercy cuts so deep
If the world was how it should be, maybe I could get some sleep
While I lay, I dream we're better,
Scales were gone and faces light
When we wake, we hate our brother
We still move to hurt each other
Sometimes I can close my eyes,
And all the fear that keeps me silent falls below my heavy breathing,
What makes me so badly bent?
We all have a chance to murder
We all feel the need for wonder
We still want to be reminded that the pain is worth the thunder

Sometimes when I lose my grip, I wonder what to make of heaven
All the times I thought to reach up
All the times I had to give
Babies underneath their beds
Hospitals that cannot treat all the wounds that money causes,
All the comforts of cathedrals
All the cries of thirsty children - this is our inheritance
All the rage of watching mothers - this is our greatest offense

Oh my God
Oh my God
Oh my God

My Husband is so Mean !!!

Now iam going to rabbit trail a little and give you a little story be for i tell you what my husband said to me.
Jason is a joker, he makes jokes all the time and "thinks" he's the funnest. Now at Easter dinner at his parents place, we all set at the table to play a game of Apple's to Apple's,(super fun) all but Jason's brother David and his wife Crystal. they sat on the couch, snuggling. And were all making jokes about them going off to be "alone" !! and some one said "they could go to the barn"and someone else said "ya the sheep will keep them company" and Jason goes, 'will David is Scottish" (as to say he can have sex with a sheep because he's Scottish) i punched him in the arm for saying that, but he still thought it was soo funny. Anyways, last night we were in bed, and Jason is try to fool around and i said i was too tired to, and i joking said, "go find a goat you Scott's' man" and then he looked right at me and said "found one" !!!!!!
SO DIDN'T GO OVER GOOD !!! He's just killing him self laughing and iam trying to kick him out of my bed !!! I couldn't be live he would say that to me !!! LOL i still can't believe he said that to me. and yes he did later say he was sorry, but only with a big smile on his face !!

So lot's of stuff has happened.
Easter was amazing. check out www.mysouthland.com
and go to testimonies and its April 3-4 "cardboard testimonies"

there is an old man on there saying his wife will soon die...........she died the day after this was taken. But we all know that she is in the arms of her father.
so yesterday, i went for a walk with the kids, and it looked nice out and its was like 14 out and i went out in shorts and a tank top, and i locked my door and went for that walk. and then as i was walking i realized i dont have my keys. i know, so smart. lol so i was locked out for 2 hours, and it wasn't as warm as i thought it was. so i was cooled. but we sat in our porch and all our games are in the porch so we played games and we have a shelf out in the porch with snack food, so we had snacks too. so it wasn't so bad.
we had to take sibylla to the walk in last evening, she has pink eye. poor bylla.
and on Tuesday i took the kids to the dentist, and lucious has to get two fillings and its going to cost $600..i didnt think it would cost so much. its crazy.
there going to give him laughing gas but i dont think that going to help. i think we going to have to put him under. sadly. but i know other kids that had to do that.
